DESCRIBING PEOPLE (ALL LEVELS)

Each student will write a self-description without names on a sheet of paper. Emphasize that the students are to concentrate on their positive characteristics. The descriptions should include physical attributes such as color of eyes, hair, skin, height, and weight. Other non-physical attributes should also be included, for example, loves to play jokes on friends, always smiling, very helpful, never late for school, is unselfish, and plays fair.

The students' self-descriptions are to be folded and placed in a box or bag. Have a student, one at a time select a folded sheet from the box or bag and read the descriptions to the class. The class will then try to guess who the mystery person is. This process should be repeated until all slips of paper have been drawn.
